A Monster Universal Lathe.

One of the finest and most powerful tools that mechanical science has yet achieved has just been finished at Mul- house for the French navy, It is two-carriage universal lathe which is a complete machine shop in itself, being capable of performing the most varied operations-such as mOrtising, shap- ing, boring and molding-with the most perfect accuracy. It is wonder fully adapted to the delicate and com plicated working of pieces for armor- plating turrets, of helix supports, of rudders. of cranked shafts. of pistons, etc., for modern war vessels, and it handles and shapes immense masses of steel almost as skillfully as carpen- ter carves small blocks of wood. Its weight is more than three hundred and forty tons, and it is driven by an en- zine of twenty-five horsepower. Con- parison of this tool with one of sev- enty-six tons, which was mechanical marvel some twenty-five years ago, gives a striking illustration of the al- most incredible progress of our gener- ation.

The Federal Supreme Court.

Every thing about the Supreme Court is impressive and awe-inspiring
 The semi-circular chamber, with it's stately columns of mottled Potomac marble, its half-domed ed roof, lighted by skylghts, and the rich upholstery of the sofas arranged upon the sides for the accommodation of spectators, re- call historic scenes, glorified as they are viewed through the dim mist of time, and it's walls seem ready to echo the voices of the past. The appear ance and bearing of the nine elderly gentlemen who sit in row upon the raised platform behind long desk, clothed in their black silk robes, the absolute silence enjoined upon all not having to address the court. and the subdued monotones in which the busi- ness is transacted make one feel that here at least are gravity and attention befitting the dignity of great Gov ernment.

Pathetic Scenes Witnessed Nearly Every
 Day at Sing-Sing.
 An old Irish woman, her face cov- cred with wrinkles, tottered into the room. She was accompanied by a young woman carrying baby, while little child walked by her side. They seated themselves on one of the benches, and soon a tall fellow en- tered and approaching the old woman he stopped over and kissed her. She partly arose from her seat and putting her hand on the mans shoulder said brokenly: "Ah, me boyr' Then she began to cry, and rolling her handker- chief into ball. mopped her eyes with it from time to time. The man turned to the younger woman, who was his sister, and, indifferent to his mothers sorrow, began laughing and talking and playing with the children. He took the baby in his arms and kissed it while it crowed over him and poked it's little fingers into his eyes.
 On another bench in one corner sat plump-looking Irish girl with pret- ty face. She was not alone long. for soon convict peered sheepishly through the doorway, and recognizing her advanced awkwardly to her side. There was a resounding kiss, and the two sat down and talked cheerfully to- gether. There was not vestige of sorrow between them, notwithstand- ;D fba1y ,.,o.o both rvoru uOupo apd only married short time before their misfortune overlook them. There is no time to indulge in sorrow in a meeting of thirty minutes duration once in two months. They have only time to talk and hope, and so they talked.
 On the same bench there at a group which ordinarily should be beyond a thought of hope. There were two women. the oldest the mother of two convicts. the youngest the wife of one. Both the young appeared together and smilingly and affectionately received the greetings that awaited them. They were the two Kahout brothers who were some time ago convicted of arson and sentenced to confinement in the State prison for life. The oldest is only twenty-seven and heyoungest twenty five, and both have nothing before them but a long waste of years. Yet the thirty minutes allowed was spent in the most cheerful conversation, and the eyes of all gleamed happily when the moment for the parting kiss ar rived.
 A certain convict, considerably above the ordinary grade, was visited by his wife, who was richly, though modestly. dressed. She was accompanied by their little girl In such cases the warden supplies the man with a blue blouse to conceal the prison garb, be- lieving that it does no harm to shield 8 sensitive man from unnecessary nor tification, while the sensibilities of lit tie children advancing toward req soning age are thereby spared disa- greeable impressions and memories in years to come. The convict entered and affectionately kissed his wife and child, with whom he conversed throughout the thirty minutes to which they are limited on such occasions. At last the moment for parting came. As he moved away the child took hold of his blouse, looked up appealingly into his face and asked: Papa, when are you coming home?"-M r Tribune.

Last spring two wrens began housekeeping in the lattice work of the porch of N. w. Dutton, of Lewiston, Me. They were made welcome and so well treated that other wrens came there to live also. There are now over twenty in the little colony. The other day cat appeared in the yard, where upon the wrens set up a great chatter ing, Mrs. Dutton went out to see what was the matter, and when she ap- peared the birds flew to her and perched on her head and shoulders and arms, apparently knowing that she would protect them from their enemy.

 Once Inhabited by Men.
 There is reason for thinking that the moon is not absolutely airless. and, while it has no visible body of water, it's soil may, after all, not be entirely arid and desiccated. These are observations which hint at visible changes in certain spots that could possibly be caused by vegetation, and, there are other observations which suggest the display of electric lumin- osity in a rarefed atmosphere cover ing the moon. To declare that no pos sible form of life can exist under the conditions prevailing upon the lunar surface would be saying to much, for human intelligence can not set bounds to creative power. Yet, within the limits of life, such as we know them, it is probably safe to assert that the moon is dead and de- serted world. In other words, if a race of beings resembling ourselves, or resembling any of our contemporaries terrestrial life, ever ex- isted upon the moon. they must long since have perished. That such beings may have existed is possible, particu- iArlv if it is true, as generally be- lieved, that the moon once had com paratively dense atmosphere and water upon its surface, which have now, in the process of cooling of the lunar globe. being withdrawn into its interior It certainly does not detract from the interest with which we study the rugged and beautiful scenery of the moon to reflect that if we could visit those ancient sea-bottoms or ex- plore those glittering mountains, we might, perchance, find there some re- mains or mementoes of a race that fiourished, and perhaps was all gath cred again to its fathers, before man appeared upon the earth.

BEFORE THE RAIN.

 In every coign and hollow; The wrens do chatter Of the fears While swinging on the barley-ears. c me, hurry, while there yet is time, Pull up thy scarlet bonnet. Now, sweetheart, my love is thine,
 There is a drop upon it. So trip it ere the storm-hag weird Doth pluck the barley by the beard. Lol not a whit too soon we've housed; The storm-witch yells above us; The branches rapping on the panes

lis, a few days ago, at which the deed of
the land at Minnehaha falls was formally
accepted in behalf OF the state OF Minnesota,
and the home declared located at that
point. The cottage system, or q
series of small buildings. instead OF
one large building, was approved by
the commission, and the OK.
ecutive committee was instructed to
have the plans drawn accordingly. 1t was
decided to rent the Henry and Balch prop
erty near the falls for a temporary home,
and Secretary Sawyer, OF the commission,
will be placed in charge until the perma-
nent superintendent is elected at a future
meeting. Mayor Ames, Judge Burr OF st.
Paul, and Senator Pope of ,Mankato
were also present at the meeting.
A vote of thanks was rendered to
the city by the commission for
it's gift to the disabled and unfortunate
survivors OF the war, to which the mayor
responded in a neat speech. He said the
city will remain loyal to the home in every
respect, and will extend its park system
SO as to include the institution and the
grounds connected Herewith. The execu.
tive committee was authorized to employ
a landscape architectto lay out and adorn
the temporary and permanent sites.

The increase of the Jewish popula-
ton OF the United States has been re-
markable. In 1845 in a population OF
20, 900, 900 there were only 500, 900
Jews. So that, while the entire popu-
lation of the United States has in
creased three fold in forty years, the
number of Jews has increased ten fold.
The United States is now the fourth
country in the world in the number OF
it's Jewish citizens. Russia, Germany
and Austria have more; but at the
present rate of increase 1T will not be
long before this country has the
largest Jewish population in theworld.

1t is a common remark in the South
that too many of the educated color
ed people become preachers and teach
ers, and too few of them learn any
practical handicraft that would ele-
vate them in the rank of labor above
field hands. In this the colored peo-
pie are evidently initiating the whites
both North and South, as the educat.
ed young whites everywhere rush into

Herr Most Not to be o Citizen.

The application OF Johann Most to de-
clare his intention to become q citizen at
New York was rejected by the chief clerk OF
the superior court. Most said he would APP
peal to the courts. Most contended that
he believed in the United States constitu-
tion and was well disposed toward the
people. In reply to the question DO you
believe in obeying the laws as they are
passed by the proper authorities Of the
state OF New York;" he answered, t.yes. il
they are good laws" He also announced
that he should feel it his duty to use force
against the authorities to secure the abro-
CATION Of laws detrimental to tho people.
On receiving these. replies the clerk refused
to administer the oath Of allegiance. Since
the split in tho United Labor party the So
cialists have worked to bring out their full
strength at the polls. Large numbers OF
socialists and anarchists have Of late de-
clared their intentions Of becoming citizens,
and Most's unexpected application is sup
posed to be due TO this policy.
